Abstract

The reaction between cadmium nitrate tetrahydrate and N,N′ -bis(pyridin-3-ylmethyl)oxalamide (L) in a 1:3 molar ratio in a water/acetonitrile (1:6 v/v) mixture afforded single crystals of compound 1 suitable for X-ray diffraction analysis. Compound 1 consists of the coordination polymer (CP) [[Cd(L)2 (OH2 )2 ](NO3 )2 ·4H2O]∞, in which CdII ions are bridged by neutral L antiperiplanar Nligands in a wavy ribbon fashion developed along the c-axis. Two trans-disposed water molecules complete the pseudo-octahedral coordination geometry of the metal ion. The crystal packing of 1 revealed the interplay between π–π stacking interactions and an intricate hydrogen-bonded network involving oxalamides, nitrates, and water molecules. The donor properties of L and the intermolecular interactions in compound 1 are interpreted based on hybrid-DFT calculations.
